Work on your athletic skills this weekend with a type of sport where you can play while drinking beer. Car and art enthusiasts can enjoy events on Saturday that both contribute to a good cause. In this week’s edition of Caller Entertainment’s Top 5 Weekend Picks with Sarah Acosta, your weekend plans include a Latin rock concert, some Spurs basketball excitement and charity events.

Foosball: If you are not so good at soccer, but are good at table soccer than warm up those quick hand reflexes. The House of Rock will host a foosball tournament with $2.50 beer at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Read more on the fun tournament here.

Latin Rock: Get your rock fix this weekend with the Rock en Español trio Enanitos Verdes at the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds at 8 p.m. Friday in Robstown.
